67 * The struct and pickle (at least) modules need an efficient platform-
68 * independent way to store floating-point values as byte strings.
69 * The Pack routines produce a string from a C double, and the Unpack
70 * routines produce a C double from such a string. The suffix (4 or 8)
71 * specifies the number of bytes in the string.
73 * On platforms that appear to use (see _PyFloat_Init()) IEEE-754 formats
74 * these functions work by copying bits. On other platforms, the formats the
75 * 4- byte format is identical to the IEEE-754 single precision format, and
76 * the 8-byte format to the IEEE-754 double precision format, although the
77 * packing of INFs and NaNs (if such things exist on the platform) isn't
78 * handled correctly, and attempting to unpack a string containing an IEEE
79 * INF or NaN will raise an exception.
81 * On non-IEEE platforms with more precision, or larger dynamic range, than
82 * 754 supports, not all values can be packed; on non-IEEE platforms with less
83 * precision, or smaller dynamic range, not all values can be unpacked. What
84 * happens in such cases is partly accidental (alas).
87 /* The pack routines write 4 or 8 bytes, starting at p. le is a bool
88 * argument, true if you want the string in little-endian format (exponent
89 * last, at p+3 or p+7), false if you want big-endian format (exponent
91 * Return value: 0 if all is OK, -1 if error (and an exception is
92 * set, most likely OverflowError).
93 * There are two problems on non-IEEE platforms:
94 * 1): What this does is undefined if x is a NaN or infinity.
95 * 2): -0.0 and +0.0 produce the same string.
